OK, now I think I'm starting to wrap my head around why it is not working.
Even with my software encoder sampling on the base-thread, with this line:
addf hm2_5i23.0.read servo-thread
updated I/O values were only being read from the 5i23 on the servo-thread.
A bit counter intuitive to me, but c

It seems I have to give LinuxCNC a closer look.
There is a low cost commercial alternative in MACH 3.
I guess you have an opinions on that system too?
I know it's based on Windows with some kind of realtime extension who
doesn't sound too good in ears.

Presuming my PC can handle a reasonable base-thread rate, is it really

It seems if I want to use a "real" encoder counter given my configuration
I'll need a custom 5i23 firmware?

As a relative LinuxCNC newbie, I can say that a more clear presentation of
the capabilities of the system would have made it less daunting to choose
LinuxCNC. As a hobby CNC user, I had been exposed to probably 20
half-baked open source CAM tools/packages and been impressed with a total
of zero.
Thanks all for the input. I don't think I'm presenting the problem quite
right, so I'll try to provide more detail, but for those not interested in
that the specific technical problem I am hoping to solve is that I have
configured a software encoder that does not seem to handle frequencies

Yes, exactly!
Unfortunately my clients tend to ask, what kind of solution they are
paying for and what am I going to implement and then it would be nice
to show them a page,
clap, clap, clap . . . . . .
I second the motion.
If and when I have some free time I might knock up a quick flyer based on
these notions.
Obviously for others to add on to.
We will need some real clean shiny pictures though. Close-ups work very
well.
Are there volunteers?
